It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the old man seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen nor heard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristics of having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. All of which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could not possibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happen and the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.

The affix ante- means "before." Based on this knowledge and the meaning of the root belli, when was the Antebellum period in Ame
amm1812

Answer:

C. Before the Civil War.

Explanation:

Based on the root word of the affix <u>"ante-"</u>, it is easy to say that any word that comes with this word will mean <u>"before"</u> or preceding it. Likewise, the root word <u>"belli" means "war" or "fighting"</u>. Therefore, if these two words are put together, then the new word is likely to refer to the period before a war.

Now, the word<em><u> "Antebellum" is a period in American history that is usually used by the Southern states to refer to the period or time before the Civil War</u></em>. Therefore, the <u>correct answer is option C.</u>
